about

A genuinely new song, written in April, 2015.

An anthem for any campaign of any sort, ever.

You can do it! Unless you can't, but that's cool too. Most wouldn't even have tried, and what good is that?
~Killstring

lyrics

Words
Such fragile things
Hearts
Held up by strings

We
Can’t help but try
Dreams
Can’t let them die

Maybe I’m just,
Killing time, but,
Lately I’m not satisfied

And maybe I won’t get it right
I at least will say I tried
Not once, not twice
I picked myself up off the lawn

And maybe I’m not very bright
After all, I’m just one light
But I know the night can’t last forever; just hold on
Until the Dawn

How’d
It get so bad?
Lines
Drawn in the sand

Then
We spoke of hope
Now
It’s getting choked

And maybe you’ve been,
Disillusioned
Institutions
Pressing down

And maybe that’s not very nice
But we all pay the asking price
Not once, not twice
Until your strength is nearly gone

And maybe I’m not very wise
It’s a daunting enterprise
I know the lies won’t last forever; just hold on - until the dawn

Well maybe that’s not good advice
I've seen it fail with my own eyes
Not once, not twice
A thousand times it goes so wrong

And maybe I’m not very bright
Just my luck, it's not just my light
I know the night can’t last forever; here it comes - bring forth the dawn

Light up the dawn
And maybe I can come along
Here comes the dawn
